आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'the assignment' संदेहास्पद लगा क्योंकि यह अटपटे लगते verb phrase (क्रिया पदबंध) के बाद आता है। किंतु 'completed the assignment' सही verb और object (कर्म) का संयोजन है; वास्तविक दोष subject से पहले आए 'had I' में है।'the assignment' looked suspicious because it follows the odd-sounding verb phrase. But 'completed the assignment' is a normal verb-object pair; the real error is 'had I' before the subject.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'on time.' संदेहपूर्ण लगा क्योंकि प्रायः 'in time' लिखा जाता है। परंतु 'on time' का अर्थ ठीक समय पर है और यहाँ शुद्ध है; दोष 'whether had I' में है, जहाँ 'I had' होना चाहिए।'on time.' looked doubtful because people often write 'in time'. But 'on time' means punctually and is right here; the error is 'whether had I', where 'I had' is needed.
